Player Comments on Darkness Covers Me

I didn't really enjoy this one.

First of all, let's go over the statistics that you have give in. According to you, the story difficulty is an 8/8, and the maturity level is 7/8. By someone who has played through this entire thing, that appears to be a little off, and you may need a bit clarification on how difficulty and maturity should be rated.

The story difficulty should be way lowered. In this storygame, there is no way to win, and you give us a very limited set of choices. Therefore, it isn't so hard, and this needs to be lowered down.

I wouldn't say this storygame requires a mature audience. Although there was a bit spookiness (sort of), there was no real violence or inappropriate material. You only gave away hints that the monster/whatever was eating you, but didn't describe anything. Also, no sexuality is present.

Now then. As afore mentioned, I didn't like this one. One problem were the choices. They were really limited. Instead of having two/one choice(s) every page, you could have branched it out a bit more, thus extending the storyline, increasing readers' delight, and also, making sure it isn't too abrupt.

I see a lot of potential in this game. The description and first page really drew me in, but after that, the quality declined. Low amount of choices, and equally short story. Too abrupt, and I really want this to be expanded more.

Lastly, the endings. All the endings of the storygame involved death. As Briar_Rose mentioned, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. However, in a storygame like this, where choices are especially built to change the story, having one "good" ending where you escape or something would be a lot better. Also, less abrupt.

So, I ask that you flesh the game out more, create more branches, and more choices in the name of readers' enjoyment.

This is a shame, because I enjoyed the writing of the game, which I felt to be pretty well done.

3/8. I gave one extra point because I really did enjoy the writing.

The game is not as bad as the reviews say it is. It just lacks an ending where you don't die. Other than that, it's not bad.

This actually wasn't written too badly. The main problem is that every single ending is almost the same, and all of them lead to death. You can't win. What on earth happened there? You need more routes than this, and nothing is explained.

Needs an ending were you actually live

Well, I think the maturity level was way off, I uh, was killed by a ghost creature.

Eaten alive!

That... was... awful.

You can't win this game, Most of the endings are the same. At least put in one way to win.

Well the story was really short and their is no way to win

I couldn't live.

Could be better. Maybe a broader storyline. I thought the concept was good, but maybe if we were able to, I don't know, live, find out what's wrong, and maybe have a good ending? Just a suggestion.

Pretty good writing, but as others have said, GIVE US MORE CHOICES! And it'd be good if we actually got an ending where we didn't die.

So yeah.

BO-RING!

Are you supposed to die in this game!? Is there no way to win at all!?

Liked it, sometimes you can't win, especially in horror stories. Just wish it was a little longer.

I would like it a bit more if there was a way to win... but hey, nice concept.

There is no possible way to win.

I liked it, but it was too short for my liking. I am going to give it a 3/8

The writing was good but it was too short and abrupt. If it is expanded with more options and plot branches it could be terrific.

I enjoyed this story. I got the ending where I was eaten alive. The grammar needs some serious work but overall this was a nice, creepy story. 4/8

THIS IS ALL MY FAULT

There could be more choice, if some big creature wants to eat me, I'd try to kill that bastard first, not just stare or run away!

After a few playthroughs, I have realised that there are very few endings indeed.

Well you seem like a decent write, but this game could have been so much better. Firstly, it was very short, second it would be good if there were more choices than "stay where you are" or "run away" throughout the game, but most importantly, there's no "good" ending. It's okay to make a game where you die no matter what, but in those cases it's good to have one ending that indicates that this was the best ending the game had to offer. For instance, you sacrifice yourself to save someone else's life and they get away, or something like that.

Somewhat bland, a few grammatical errors here and there, and I felt like the phrase 'for what seems like' a few too many times.

It Short, And no Chance of winning but games like this really give me level of creep of heart-attack ( or just because of the combination with the song I played with )
5/8

@Fireplay
The story describes the "creature" as a "mass of fur", with large claws and teeth. Not only that, you (in the story) end up being pinned down by the creature, or your car gets smashed by it. I think it's safe to assume it is a bear, I apologize for the lack of clarification in my previous comment.

@Allusional:
How did you get the idea it was a bear?

Good English and an ok story, although extremely short. One thing that annoyed me is that it has no way for you to win.

It's an okay effort, but the story itself is rather unrealistic (what kind of bear directly rams itself into a car?), and the lack of plot is very obvious. 3/7

Like Negative said it was a bit short but that's not a major thing. You could try making the detail better and try to add a sense of terror or mystery into the story.

I decided to give you a 4/7 because of the effort and good setting for a story but no more than that since it feels somewhat unresolved in the story.

Perhaps you could still have us die no matter what we do but start the story back at the party instead?

Theres no ending bro....
Or atleast a /good/ ending.
And a 7/8 maturity isn't something along the lines of 'My cheek dun got ripped' well, I guess it could be.
But back onto the subject, every path leads the same place, and all the endings involve dying.

Is there any way of actually beating this? I've went through every path I think.

It was good but you need to give it more detail. The writing felt rushed like you were bored with this after the first page. The whole story was too short. However it showed effort and I guess English in not your first language? Good luck for next story. But for this product I can nit give you anything more than 3/8.
